Elizabeth von Arnim 
Adventures of Elizabeth in Rugen 

In 1901, the author – the real Elizabeth – went on a trip to the Baltic island of Rugen with her maid, a chauffeur, a friend, and a carriage piled high with their luggage. From this, she weaves a captivating tale of her encounters in this semi-autobiographical novel. A snobbish bishop’s wife and her handsome son, a dressmaker, and a long-lost cousin Charlotte form the basis of this story, as Charlotte tries to evade the pursuit of her husband. Elizabeth von Arnim’s humorous novel ‘The Adventures of Elizabeth in Rugen’ will be enjoyed by fans of Thomas Hardy’s ‘Far From the Madding Crowd’.-
